Driver fled
The driver drove away. You are hurt, and there is no one to send the bill to. Most people think that ends it. Often it does not, but the first few days decide a lot.
When a driver flees, the claim often runs through your own uninsured motorist coverage. Your policy treats the unknown driver as an uninsured one.
That surprises people. The insurer you have paid for years is now the one deciding, and sometimes disputing, what you get. You still need someone on your side.
Evidence fades fast. Witnesses go home. Doorbell and store cameras record over in days. Paint and broken parts get swept up.
“We need proof another car was involved.”
Many policies do ask for it. We gather witness statements, video and physical evidence like paint transfer to meet that bar.
“You did not report it fast enough.”
Policies often require a prompt police report and prompt notice to the insurer. We help you get both done right away.
“Without the driver, we cannot judge fault.”
Fault can be shown from the scene, the damage and the video, even when the driver is never found.
What we do, and what you can do, in the days right after a hit-and-run.
Checklist
You cannot sue a person nobody can find. But you may have a claim under your own uninsured motorist coverage, and that is often where these cases are won or lost.
It depends on your insurer and your policy. Many insurers do not raise rates for a crash you did not cause, but the rules vary. Send us your policy and we will read it with you.

A driver was sideswiped on a dark road. No one saw the other car, and no cameras covered that stretch.
What happened: Without a witness or video, the client's policy did not allow the uninsured motorist claim. We explained why, closed the file and charged no fee.
What we took from it Some hit-and-run claims cannot be proven. We would rather tell you that plainly than drag it out.
These are invented examples for a sample website. They show the kinds of results a road injury firm might describe. Every case is different, and past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any other case. See all example outcomes.
